In Garden Science students participate in garden maintenance (weeding/watering), soil preparation, compost care, planting seeds and sprouts, growing seeds to mature plant, harvesting food and eating it, and implementing and observing plant science projects.

Some of the plant science projects have entailed observing the effects of plant growth in crowded vs. spacious conditions or using nutrient fortified soil vs. basic potting soil, and plant identification and learning plant parts.  All science observations along with pop quizzes are documented in the student garden journals.  Students enjoy going to the beautiful outdoor classroom to help fine tune their observation, listening, and kinesthetic senses.  They learn about where their food comes from, how to grow it, the multitude of ecosystems involved in growing food, and ultimately a true appreciation for our environment and farming.
